Ansa’s Perspective

“Over the last decade, the US Government has emerged as one of the largest consumers of technology, globally, with information, data, and software increasingly becoming key points of leverage on and off the battlefield. Today’s servicemen and women desire an ability to seamlessly deploy and update cloud-native applications—with or without an internet connection—and leverage the latest in AI technology, but often lack the technology infrastructure to do so,” said Marco DeMeireles, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Ansa Capital. “Having stood up Platform One, the first DoD-wide approved managed DevSecOps platform, Rob and his team are best suited to solve this immense and complex challenge. I’m looking forward to joining the Board as we work towards our shared mission of enabling all agencies to better leverage modern software and methodologies.”

Team Defense Unicorns

As pioneers in delivering open-source software and AI solutions to the US Government, Defense Unicorns is leading the charge in redefining the future of national security and defense technology. We at Ansa are proud to be co-leading a $35M financing into the business and joining the Board.

Today, the company’s core capabilities revolve around helping DoD agencies continuously deploy software and AI solutions in any mission environment. These capabilities are underpinned by their open-source projects Zarf, Pepr, LeapfrogAI, and others. We could not be more thrilled to support Defense Unicorns on this transformative journey, reaffirming our commitment to propelling technological advancements within the critical defense sector!
